Polyethylene has poor resistance to hot water, and exposure to UV light will result in gradual decomposition. High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). Used in mechanical/electrical/general engineering, transport/conveyor technology, household appliances, food and general clean industries. Typical applications include chemical apparatus, plugs, seals, food processing, insulators, and low load rollers. Tough with low water absorption properties and good sliding properties Resistant to dilute acids, cleaning agents and numerous solvents Very good electrical insulation properties Black in colour
